Smooshing Technique Card!

Good Afternoon Ladies!!

I am back again to share a new card with you all that I made taking into account a few
challenges.

To make this card I started with a white cardstock and
stamped a circular lacy design (closest thing that I had to doodle) multiple times with white
Versafine Ink. Heat embossed it with Wow clear embossing powder.

For smooshing I chose Tenacious Teal and Lilac Artistry Inks. I pressed the ink pads on an acrylic block randomly. Then sprayed some water over it from a distance till tiny droplets are formed on the block.

Then I smooshed the ink over the embossed cardstock till I was satisfied
with the intensity of colors.

Wiped the excess of ink from the embossed areas using tissue wipe.

Took a butterfly die-cut, covered it with black
pigment ink and heat embossed it. Marked the outline of the die cut on a vellum
and cut it out. Coated the cut out with rust Metallic Paint and stuck it
to the die-cut. It turned out to be really glossy.

Next stamped the sentiment from “Purrfect Pair” Stamp set
from craftyscrappers on vellum. Added the cardstock to an embossed white
cardstock along with a black one of same size. Finally added the whole panel to a blue card stock.

The butterfly die-cut is a
RAK from Preety Dutt and the embossed panel is a RAK from Dr. Sonia Suprabha.

This is so gorgeous!! Your smooshing technique is perfect!! The beautiful butterfly just pops against the background!! I loved seeing the steps it took for you to achieve this stunning card!! Have a great day!! Big hugs :)

WOW! What a fabulous and striking smooshed BG there. I love the depth of colour you've achieved and the white stamping looks fantastic against it. A super layout and thanks for playing along at HLS CAS challenge this month
